As the speed of the processor increases so does the heat that it generates which. in turn, requires a cooling system that will keep the processor within it's temperature envelope. Allowing a processor to work at it's maximum potential while keeping the internals cool is a goal of every HSF manufacture. A stock HSF can barely maintain rated temperatures at stock settings, let alone any form of overclocking, especially overclocking that involves an increase in voltage. Upping the voltage increases heat more than raising the multiplier or raising the front side bus. Aftermarket coolers do a considerably better job of taming that fire breathing dragon that hides in your case.

XigmaTek, founded in 2005, is quickly becoming one of the most sought after brands of coolers, PSUs, and accessories. Today we present the S1284 CPU cooler with the Crossbow brackets for the 775/1366 sockets. The crossbow brackets add the backplate for the motherboard and the socket 1366 brackets for i7 installations.The S1284 is a light weight four heat pipe cooler that features heat-pipe direct touch. The heat-pipe direct touch design places the heat pipes in direct contact with the IHS of the CPU. This design should improve cooling over the traditional designs but my also cause a whole new set of problems.  How well does this CPU cooler do it's job? Are there any issues with the HDT technology? Read on to find out.
